Is there also an editable board design. A Gerber file o.i.d. I noticed in the scheme that some SMA chips are hard to get. If we can use the old fashion (DIL 16/24) chips instead of SMA it might be easier to build the board (maybe at home?).
BTW. 'm aware that the board will be bigger using DIL instead of SMA
sorry for the delay
SMA components are necessary for mass production but an alternative design to be mounted manually is a good idea. the problem is that most components should be through hole and that could be a problem, you will need extra room between the HAT and the Raspberry using an extra header extender.
We will publish the KidCad files soon, hopefully someone can do this and share.
